MARGAO: In a significant move towards enhancing the sewerage infrastructure in Margao, MLA of Margao, Digambar Kamat, has spearheaded two crucial projects that promise to improve sanitation and connectivity in the region.
These initiatives, which employ cutting-edge Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technology, are set to modernize the sewerage network while minimizing disruptions to roads and existing utilities.
One of the key projects focuses on the development of the sewerage network at Monti Hill, covering essential healthcare institutions such as T.B Hospital, Ayush Hospital, and Aster Hospital. The project, undertaken by Tejman Infrastructures at a cost of Rs. 4.79 crores, involves the laying of a 200 mm diameter pipeline, the construction of manholes, and the provision of road crossings for house sewer connections. With a total network length of 1238 meters, this project is expected to bring significant improvements to the area’s sanitation and overall public health.
Simultaneously, another major project is underway to expand the sewerage network across the Military Camp and Monti Hill areas. With a total network of 2009 meters, this initiative is being executed by NST Eng Projects LLP at an estimated cost of Rs. 8.48 crores. Similar to the Monti Hill project, it involves pipeline installation, manhole construction, and road crossings for house connections. This expansion will address long-standing sanitation concerns and contribute to the modernization of essential infrastructure, ensuring a cleaner and healthier living environment for residents.
Digambar Kamat has reiterated his commitment to the welfare and development of Margao and its surrounding areas. By integrating advanced HDD technology, these projects will significantly enhance sewage management while preserving road conditions and reducing inconvenience to the public. The MLA emphasized that these efforts align with his broader vision of providing efficient and sustainable urban infrastructure to meet the growing needs of the city.
As work progresses, authorities are ensuring that these projects are executed in a timely and efficient manner, bringing much-needed improvements to the region’s sewerage network. The completion of these projects will not only improve sanitation but also reduce environmental hazards, fostering a sustainable future for the people of Margao.
